Tony won the 2006 Utah State Amateur championship and decided, at age 17, to skip college and turn pro. For the next 6-7 years Finau competed on mini-tours and worked on improving his game.
Tony and his brother Gipper competed on the reality golf TV-show the Big Break in 2009. He eventually made his way through the Web.com tour and earned his PGA tour card for the 2014-2015 season.
In the last several years, Tony has become a fan favorite and a very solid professional player. It feels like he’s near the lead in most events he enters.
